I've measured the in-the-sun interior temp to be as high as 120 F ,
Westy sitting in intense sun.
the fan's power is through one of those fuses behind the driver's seat..
Full time power.  If the temp sensor sees hot enough temp, fan runs.
Nothing has to be 'on' or anything.

pull the fuse if you don't want it runningparked in hot sun.
